ProjectMOT Needs Helps Preparing Rosh Hashanah Packages for Deployed Troops

Dear Friend,

We are writing to you because of your past support of ProjectMOT. As you may know we sent almost 100 holiday care packages to our deployed Jewish troops last year. This year for Passover we sent 114. All were well received and enjoyed by our brave heroes in their various parts of the world.

If you have a deployed serviceman or woman who will be away during the holidays, please send us their military address so we can send them a care package.

We are now preparing the High Holiday packages which we will be sending at the end of August, and have orders for 80 at this point. We already have blank greeting cards for them to send home, some candy and cookies, but we really want to make these boxes special.

We have a web page with information about what we are doing and our wish list and invite you to have a visit: www.rimmon.com/ProjectMOT.htm

Our Rosh Hashanah Wish List: (Items must fit into boxes 8 ½ x 11 inches)

Elite/Osem/Streits cookies and cakes

All kosher food and snack items such as candies , bags of dried apple slices or snacks; small plastic jars of honey; individual bags of coffee, teas, hot chocolate

Any small Judaica items

Bentchers and small Jewish calendars

Personal-sized hygiene items

Small games and game books

Books, CDs and DVDs of holiday music and Jewish interest

Pre-paid phone cards

Letters of thanks to the troops

We will welcome your participation in helping us package the boxes at the end of August. Please email us (see address below) if you want to be part of this exciting experience.

If you wish to donate items for the boxes, they can be delivered to Marsha Roseman in Van Nuys. Email for a drop-off time at MRose13432@aol.com .

And if you wish to donate money for the postage of our packages, please also email Marsha at MRose13432@aol.com .

With warmest wishes and thanks,
